I have a queen, i also caught a drone on the same day, this was like june 1st. that night i placed them togther because the queen still had her wings. I left them togther to try and get them to mate. i didn't notice anything at all for a few days. i then placed the queen in a different cup. and left the drone alone. but last night i decieded to put them back togther. i checked on them a few minitues ago and the drone has died. but the queen still has her wings. so i placed her in a test tube. I'm not sure if they mated are the drone just died for no reason. Any ideas? they also was like face to face for a bit after meeting again. then i noticed the male ant was walking all over her like almost checking her out. but never seen them mate. so i guess who knows.
